CMOS stands for 'Complementary Metal Oxide Silicon' and is the construction method of the device.

FET stands for 'Field Effect Transistor'.

Although it is a transistor and is used in a similar fashion, it is totally different in the way it is controlled and biased.

The pin outs are named differently. A bipolar transistor has a Base Emitter and Collector.

A FET has a Drain Source and Grid.

Current is controlled between the 'Source' and 'Drain' by altering the voltage on the grid. It works in a similar way to the old vacuum tube valves and is why the control is called a grid.

It forms a 'pinch off' effect, in the path between the source and drain, instead of the depletion layer in a normal transistor.

Circuit description of inverter?

Inverters can be made in many different ways. You can use CMOS transistors. Having a p-fet transistor pulled high and a n-fet transistor pulling low. Both gates are connected together as inputs. Output is the node between the n-fet and p-fet. The other way is using CML (Current Mode Logic) which uses Bi-polar transistors. Its design rather steers current. Hard to explain the physical layout but you should be able to google "inverter cml". CML is much more robust, drives better, and it is faster.


What is FET?

FET is abbreviation of Field Effect Transistor. This is a transistor in which current is controlled by voltage only and no current is drawn. It is a high input impedence device and is used in computers, telecommunication and control circuits. This transistor is better in certain parameters as compared to BJT, that is Bipolar Junction Transistor.

Why the name is FET?

FET stands for Field Effect Transistor. The name FET comes because the gate current of a field effect transistor is zero and current present in the source conductor is due to an electric field produced by the substrate material placed between the gate and the source.
